    I know BobbyD, you have 24, but Art said it had 4 GB and that it would expand to 8 GB more, but I do not know if the RAM is DDR3 or DDR4, although with that processor it will surely go to DDR3 1333, maybe in OC to 1600, but it seems to me that the system is a bit old for RF2 and that card I do not know if it is going to get all the performance that it could

    I will add more RAM next week. I was planning to get a new PC next year. The system was working perfectly well with rF2 since it was released till the second to the last update. I could race day or night with several cars in the track at LeMans 2020 for instance.

    I think both Art and I are having the same problem that seems to relate to the last one or two updates. I have a 1080 ti card with a 3.6ghz xeon processor that runs other games much more demanding than RF2. Everything was fine until today.

    If it worked before I don't know why not now, but yesterday I was at a friend's house who had not played for more than a month and I helped him configure the graphics and the new screen and everything was fine before touching anything and after the settings too, but this morning he called me to tell me that when steam started it told him that something had changed in the graphics settings and there was no way the game would start. The problem was that he does not know why, in the VideoSetup DX11 the screen and the resolution had disappeared.

    I uninstalled and installed Steam and rF2 several times, always with the same results. I installed the latest RC with the same result. The only way rF2 works is with the old UI. So the problem is not related with a car or a track. I have all the DLCs installed except the eCars and tracks. The problem seems to be related with the new UI, at least in my case.

    I hoped that more RAM would solve the problem, but Bobby´s 24GB RAM with the same result seems to indicate the opposite.

    Can you please move your Userdata folder out to somewhere else (or rename it), verify rf2 files again, and try it again?

    We're in danger here of assuming you and Art have the same core issue, without actually getting you both trying the same things...

    Hello,
    have you tried to reinstall the runtimes? You'll find them here: ..\Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\Support\Runtimes

    Run all 4 and cross your fingers!
    ;)

    I think VIDEO ram is a key, re-run the vid config tool and choose low-end settings. Set PP to zero, screen res should be the native size and don't choose any of the Updated DLC tracks. Try Nola or Atlanta MP for example. Choose private practice, so no AI or just one or two.
    As far as your friend's issue, have him look for this file in his USER Data folder: Config_DX11.ini Either rename the extension to .ixxxni or delete it completely. If nothing still occurs. Have him change to the old UI and then switch back to the new. That should trigger the auto sign-up routine.

    Hi, I had this exact same issue and have all new hardware and Ram. It was working good the day before and never had a problem before that verifying files would not fix. I done all of the above but not runtime fix or reinstalling RF2. I got it to work again after 2 hours however I cannot tell you what fixed it as it didnt work again straight after doing something it just randomly started. I got rid of all plugins as well. I had troubles with Simhub after that as well which was only fixed by a complete wipe and reinstall. If someone knows what correlation these two have might help? Maybe redistrubutables in windows or something?

    List of things I did -
    Update steam, windows, nvidia.
    Verify files (like 10 times)
    Took out player Json
    Deleted Rf2 exe file and then verify.
    Deleted plugins
    Back to older Version
    Went back to new version
    Restarted computer several times
    Went into video config and selected card instead of auto.
    I started it again once or twice with no success and without making another change it just started.
    I got out and back in about 5-6 times without issues after.

    Any luck? With this issue I would also recommend deletion of Config_DX11.ini like Dave said.

    You could have saved yourself nearly 3 weeks - lagg suggested that early in the thread.
